SECTION XXX Vaisampayana said, Discomfited before, O monarch, many a time and oft by Matsya'sSutaKichaka aided by the Matsyas and the Salyas, the mighty king of the Trigartas, Susarman, who owned innumerable cars, regarding the opportunity to be a favourable one, then spoke the following words without losing a moment.

Mbh.4.30.1225

And, O monarch, forcibly vanquished along with his relatives by the mighty Kichaka, king Susarman, eyeing Karna in askance, spoke these words unto Duryodhana, My kingdom hath many a time been forcibly invaded by the king of the Matsyas.

Mbh.4.30.1236

Hearing these words of Susarman, Karna addressed the king, saying, Susarman hath spoken well; the opportunity is favourable and promises to be profitable to us.

Mbh.4.30.1245

Let also the mighty warrior, king Susarman, accompanied by a sufficient force with vehicles and animals, set out with the Trigartas for the dominions of Matsyas.

And advancing impetuously, the mighty-armed Bhima seized Susarman by the hair, and lifting him up in wrath, dashed him down on the ground.

Mbh.4.33.1377

And when the king of the Trigartas deprived of his car, had been seized thus, the whole Trigarta army stricken with panic, broke and fled in all directions, and the mighty sons of Pandu, endued with modesty and observant of vows and relying on the might of their own arms, after having vanquished Susarman, and rescued the kine as well as other kinds of wealth and having thus dispelled Virata's anxiety, stood together before that monarch.

Mbh.4.33.1381

And then taking Susarman by the neck as he was lying on the ground insensible and covered with dust, and binding him fast, Pritha's son Vrikodara placed him on his car, and went to where Yudhishthira was staying in the midst of the field.

And the Pandavas also replying on the might of their own arms, and endued with modesty and observant of vows, having slain their enemies and liberated Susarman, passed that night happily on the field of battle.

And Susarman the king of Prasthala, accompanied by his own troops, stood, accoutred in mail, in the left wing.

Mbh.6.83.4311

SECTION LXXXIII Sanjaya said, And when the battle was thus raging and after Susarman had ceased fighting, and the other heroic warriors of the Kuru army had been routed by the high-souled son of Pandu; after, indeed, thy army, resembling the very ocean, had become quickly agitated and the son of Ganga had speedily proceeded against the car of Vijaya, king Duryodhana, beholding the prowess of Partha in battle, quickly proceeded towards those kings, and addressing them as also the heroic and mighty Susarman stationed in their van, said in their midst these words, gladdening them all, This Bhishma, the son of Santanu, this foremost one among the Kurus, reckless of his very life, is desirous of fighting with his whole soul against Dhananjaya.

Mbh.6.85.4494

The son of Kunti then, having come up to those kings that were protecting Bhishma, first addressed Susarman, O king, and said these words, I know thee to be foremost in battle, and a dire enemy of ours of old.

Mbh.6.85.4497

That leader of car-divisions, Susarman, however, hearing these harsh words uttered by that slayer of foes viz, Vibhatsu, told him nothing in reply, well or ill.

Mbh.6.87.4600

Then Arjuna, having vanquished those kings headed by Susarman along with all their followers, in the midst of their division, proceeded towards his tent.

Susarman also struck his antagonist with a lance on the shoulder-joint.

Mbh.7.17.776

And the Malavas, and the Tundikeras with thousand cars, and the tiger among men, Susarman, the ruler of Prasthala, with the Mavellakas, the Lalithas, and the Madrakas, accompanied by ten thousand cars and his brothers, and with another ten thousand cars from diverse realms came forward for taking the oath.
